hi guys. What with christmas and all that, ive just been able to buy myself a 7800 GT, to replace my 6600. ive heard about how the 7800s can use different types of antialiasing (TSAA, MSAA, SSAA, etc.), but my question is: How do I enable transparency antialiasing? on the options menu of...

OK, thanks

what program can I use to open the .vtf texture files?

Sorry, I meant the links that appear when you right click on the name of the game/tool.

I can't get any of the links in Steam to work. By which I mean right-click links to documentation; the Launch links and others work fine, but ones to manuals or websites don't work. I've made sure Steam is in online mode, and I tried opening IE before using a link. What can I do to make them...

Oh, it's loaded now. Sorry. Thanks anyway. Just 10 minutes is strangely long to wait.

Here. A £234.95 BFG 7800 GT OC at OCUK: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/7800__Series.html

OK, I've been sitting here for ten minutes with the "Connecting Steam Account" window... is this because everyone's downloading Lost Coast, or is it me?

when I start HL2 up, when the menu appears, the background stays blurry, and the console autoamtically pops up, with the following message: --- Missing Vgui material vgui/steam/games/icon_hl2mp --- Missing Vgui material vgui/servers/icon_secure_deny Also, the Valve logo doesn't appear...

Hmm... Thanks for the advice, I'll have to think about this, but I'll probably end up putting the cash towards a faster gfx card. If only the X1800s weren't so bloody expensive!

I currently have 1gb of RAM, but I've been seeing quite a few reviews lately extolling the virtues of 2gb. Is it worth upgrading? Will there actually be a noticeable difference with upcoming games such as FEAR, Quake 4, etc.?

Thx Hulk. Just as long as it will run, that's fine for me.

Is SATA-II backwards compatible with SATA motherboards? I need to upgrade my HDDs, and the drives I want are SATA-II. I don't want to have to upgrade my mobo, so will I have to go with other drives?

I'll soon be upgrading my watercooling system, and I will be buying parts from Dangerden. To cool the loop, I'll be using either a 2x120mm heatercore, or a 2x120mm BIP rad. I have heard that heatercores give greater cooling performance than many retail radiators, and I would like to have...

That's because the device on the wall removes weapons from you, hence confiscation. However, you can clearly see the weapons blackening and disintegrating, as an object does when hit by a pulse-rifle orb, or thrown into a Combine orb-conduit(or whatever they're called).

What are the pros and cons of double and single pass watercooling rads? The new X-Flow single pass radiators have been released at Dangerden, and I don't know whether to get one of these or one of the double pass Black Ice rads.

Thanks, Diluted! It's running fine now.:)

This version is the new one. As I said, I downloaded it to replace the older version, which was crashing just like the new version.

When I run GMod 8 v.3b, the screen goes black, as usual, before minimizing and confronting me with the following message: "MountFilesystem( 242 ) failed: SteamMountFilesystem(1332,242,0x146fbfc=,0146fd0c) failed with error 114: Cache needs decryption" After OKing this dialogue box, I get...

Well, if the only way to get rid of it is to lower clock speeds, I'll just grin and bear them. It's only once in a while, anyway. Thanks for the help, guys.
